it was not the dmz at that point. it was a temporary demarcation line between the northern government and the southern government in the hopes that, at some point soon, the korean people would be tiebl elect a single government. in any case, the north korean army moves past, across the demarcation line and captures seoul, and moves into south korean territory. within a few weeks, the north koreans have moved all the way down to what is called the pu n pusong perimeter. this is what brings the united nations into the war. september 15th, we have operation cromite. this is mcarthur's quite brilliant plan to, rather than pushing entirely by land and trying to push the north korean army back into north korean territory but to do marine landing just near seoul and to essentially act as a pinser movement to capture north korean troops in south korea and force a compromise or surrender. they are successful in that. by october of that year, you have u.n. forces, south korean forces, u.s. forces and other u.n. troops moving up

north korea occasionally gets in the headlines but for us here, in the pentagon, we stand watch on the dmzd stand alert against north korean aggression. charlie: what is their potential? do they have missiles that can carry a nuclear warhead to the west coast of america? sec. carter: they clearly have nuclear warheads and have tested them, but there are working on ballistic missiles. you saw them launch a small satellite into orbit. they are working to operationalize missiles of various ranges that have nuclear capability. it's precisely because you ask that question that if you are able to operationalize an icbm with a nuclear payload, capable of reaching the united states, we will have defensive interceptors capable enough and numerous enough to intercept them. charlie: let me ask you a couple questions about technology. encryption. is that a real problem for you that technology companies in silicon valley so encrypt their devices that even if you wanted to have access, you cannot. sec. carter: that is a problem for law enforcement, but you began by saying is it a problem? for me, as sec

south korea was also bolstering the defenses today along the already-tense dmz near the facility as theth shut down two communication hotlines with the south aimed at cooling down tensions in situations just like this. meanwhile, there is more concern about that rocket launch on sunday. the head of the u.s. army missile defense command telling a capitol hill gathering that the size of the payload sent into space is worrying. it is widely thought that that rocket launch was a cover for a ballistic missile test aimed maybe eventually at carrying a nuclear weapon. a reason why the senate late yesterday voted unanimously,9 6-zip, in favor of a new bill that would add sanctions against north korea and its nuclear program. it strengthens an already-strong and approved house bill, and now this bill goes back to the house for approval as well, and that is expected. jenna, this vote so important that it got marco rubio and ted cruz off the campaign trail to participate in the vote are. bernie sanders took a pass. back to you. jenna: does say something, though, to get them off the campaign trail.

most of those guys are 85 years but i think we still have 150,000 soldiers over there on the dmz.they get ready to watch the guards, -- my question was, and that we ended got into this so-called police action with north korea. i never understood why they say that world war ii never ended. could you please explain that? host: thank you very much. guest: just to respond to your concern about american soldiers, yes, we do have american soldiers, service personnel, based in south korea, but we have about 28,500, so much smaller than 100,000. we also have a large contingent in japan. if there ever were a war with north korea, both the u.s. japan and south korea would work together along with south korean military. as far as why people think that the korean war never ended, there never was a peace treaty that was signed form -- to formally end the war. the hostility stopped due to an , and this isuce something of the north koreans gripe about. --y say the only country they say they are the only country the u.s. has fought with and do not have a peace treaty after 60 years. thenically sp
